The Original 2005 Re-Release Version of the Film, with some voice enhancement. This video is based upon the true history of the home, with the exception of the main character of Captain Joshua Thomas Beauregard. He is actually a personification of Letitia Burwell's undying love for the Confederate Antebellum South. He is the old South in human form. He is based upon several actual visitors to the home, including Letitia Burwell's actual fiance, a Captain Frank Clark. In this film, the actual history of Avenel from 1858 to 1905 is depicted showing the family's views on politics, propriety, deportment, and social behavior. It is a light-hearted comedy in places, as well as a tragedy in others. The events depicting Captain Jimmie Breckinridge are all based in fact, as is the series of events from the Civil War. Some accurate battlefield footage is also used to illustrate the war effort. The reason that the film was made after the releases of Portrait of a Plantation (2003, 2008, and 2009) was because of the real ghost photograph which is shown at the end of the 2008 and 2009 releases of Portrait of a Plantation, the real life documentary of the home. The real life documentary Portrait of a Plantation is also available from Amazon.com under GEORGE ROLAND WILLS - Movies & TV It was hoped that in the making of this fictional tribute to the Burwell family, more other-worldly manifestations would reveal themselves. None were forthcoming, however. The return of Captain Beauregard's ghost in late 1895 takes place on the exact spot on the porch where the actual ghost was photographed... but even this did not bring out the real ghost, again. The porch was also photographed every November 1st at high noon for several years after the photo was discovered, but she has not been seen again on film!
